Reaction Steps

Following the procedure as described in Preparation 11, making variations as required to replace 2-aminopentanenitrile with 2-amino-2-phenylacetonitrile, (Crossley et al., J. Chem., Perkin Trans. 1, (1974), 2327-2330) to react with lithium aluminum hydride, 1-phenylethane-1,2-diamine was obtained as a colorless solid in 35% yield. The crude product was used for the next reaction.
